I want the fruity ones, don't care for licorice. The Californian wants the fruity ones. So many jokes, so little time. You get none anyway- if gears were available I'd be installing them, but this tensioner is new. I won't be installing it, either. Edited September 3 by Pressureangle 1 4

pete roper Posted September 4 Posted September 4 I’m guessing you won’t be installing the tensioner because it doesn’t fit due to the casting boss in the case? 2

I am philosophically opposed to re-inventing the wheel. The stock manual-adjust and the weak suck stock spring loaded tensioner are well addressed with this one. I did consider how I could add a spring behind the stocker when this lump proved unfit. But a new one is in the mail. 1
Speedfrog Posted September 4 Posted September 4 I still don’t see what’s wrong with the tensioner you got in the box.

California, the land of fruits, nuts, and flakes... due to all the agricultural production. We're using so much water because we grow 75% of the USA's fruits and nuts. And the flakes part just makes it funny. 1 2

I was kinda stunned coming into the valley and seeing miles and miles of cranberry ponds, mist hanging in the heat of the morning. Nobody East has visibility on CA agriculture, all we get to see are tent cities in SF and Death Valley. Occasionally adverts for Lake Tahoe vacations. 3

Where I grew up is irrigated, some orchards and some dairy cattle. That is in Northern Victoria. Further up, in Central and Northern New South Wales there is cotton, and I believe rice. One of the most water-intensive crops being cultivated in one of the driest countries. That makes sense, doesn't it... 1 1
